Sharkbite UC956A 1 Inch Pex Ss Cinch Clamp 10 Pack

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME UC956A is a stainless steel PEX cinch clamp designed for securing PEX tubing to barbed PEX fittings in potable water and hydronic piping systems. Sold in a 10-pack, each clamp measures 1 inch in diameter and meets ASTM F-2098 standard. Installation is performed using a compatible cinch tool, which compresses the clamp ear to create a solid, leak-proof connection in seconds. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use these clamps as a fast, reliable alternative to crimp rings in tight spaces where a full crimp tool is difficult to maneuver.

These clamps are suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations wherever 1-inch PEX tubing is run to barbed fittings. Common applications include domestic water distribution, radiant heating supply and return lines, and fixture connections. The cinch clamp method is widely used in new construction and retrofit work due to the compact profile of the cinch tool and the speed at which connections can be completed.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any connections. Slide the cinch clamp onto the PEX tubing before seating the tubing onto the barbed fitting, then position the clamp ear approximately 0.125 inches from the end of the tubing and compress with the cinch tool. Do not reuse a clamp once it has been crimped, as the ear cannot be reset.
